GTS invites shippers to comment on VIP agreement “VIP TTF-THE-H”
According to Article 19 , 9. of the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/459 of 16 March 2017 (CAM NC) transmission system operators shall offer available capacities of interconnection points connecting the same two adjacent entry-exit systems at one virtual interconnection point to provide one single capacity service as defined in Article 3, 23. CAM NC.
Based on the market integration of the German market areas Gaspool and Net Connect Germany in Trading Hub Europe, Gasunie Transport Services B.V. together with the relevant transmission system operators are planning to merge VIP-TTF-GASPOOL-H and VIP-TTF-NCG-H into VIP TTF-THE-H.
The contractual agreement of the transmission system operators on the virtual interconnection point “VIP TTF-THE-H” also includes rules on matching, allocation and communication procedures.
Taking into account that transmission system operators are obliged to invite network users to comment on these three subjects pursuant to Article 4 (2) of Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/703 of 30 April 2015 (INT NC), GTS would like to give its shippers the opportunity to also comment on these three issues of the planned agreement for VIP TTF-THE-H.
Shippers can submit their comments on the proposed text of the agreement between the 24th of January 2022 and the 10th of March 2022. The transmission system operators shall take the shippers’ comments into account when concluding or amending the respective agreement.
